My name is Cathy Buscher and I will be your child’s teacher. I am starting my 20th year teaching and 15 of the years have been in lower elementary. I earned both my undergraduate in Education and masters in Reading from Western Michigan University.

I am a proud aunt of 5 girls. Two girls are in high school, two are starting their undergrad and one is starting her masters. With the girls I love to play games, bake and watch movies. I also enjoy working outside, doing crafts and volunteering.

I look forward to the new adventures we will have this school year

Hi! My name is Emma Kinn and I will be a teacher in your child's classroom. I am working on completing my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Education at Western Michigan University. I am expected to graduate in May after my field work experience in your child's kindergarten class.

I am originally from Downers Grove, Illinois, but have been living in Kalamazoo, Michigan for two and a half years. In my free time I enjoy listening to podcasts, reading, playing soccer, and cleaning and organizing around the house. I also love to spend time visiting with family, watching movies with friends, and playing with my pet hedgehog!

I'm very excited for this opportunity and to work and learn from your children!
